The teams are in ahead of Round 22 of the 2024-25 Ninja A-League campaign.
There’s good news for Central Coast Mariners ahead of Friday night’s clash with Melbourne Victory, with club captain Taren King set to contend for her first minutes of the campaign.
King suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in January, 2024 and hasn’t featured for the Mariners since – but has been selected by Central Coast head coach Emily Husband ahead of this weekend’s clash with Victory.
Around the grounds, Melbourne City are set to be without star forward Mariana Speckmaier due to an ankle injury that will keep the Venezuelan international sidelined for the final two games of the regular season.
Adelaide United, meanwhile, have a third-place finish secured and will head into a Round 22 clash with Western United without attacking duo Chelsie Dawber (glute) and Erin Healy (quad).
Read on for all the team news ahead of Round 22.
